My Carto is making a *sizzle* Sound when i vape, is this right?

[Patrick21]

Just got some new cartos through the post and just filled one up, blew out to the bottom to get off any access (dont know if you have to do this all the time) and when i vape it sizzles, a bit like when you put bacon into a hot pan. Thats the best way i can explain it. Is this right or should i not be getting this sound? i feel for the latter

Perfectly normal. Actually, if I get one that don't sizzle I know it prob won't work as good.lol. I blow through all of mine to clear the center "tube" out on initial fill. vape away

Ok thanks, so its ok sizzling

 

[Patrick21]

One thing i am noticing is that i am not getting any throat hit, do i have to break it in for a while?

Sizzling? Means it working properly. No sizzle, more than likely it's dead or your battery is dying and needs charged.

Sizzling is good. If it pops and crackles occasionally, that's even better. It's a sign that you are at the right temp and juice saturation. If you aren't getting throat hit when it's sizzling and popping, then you may be using VG juice or low nicotine levels. Most of the throat hit is in nic levels, but some is also in the juice recipe.

The most flavor and throat hit will generally be with high PG juices, but there's also PGA (pure grain alcohol) that adds throat hit.

I am using 24MG VG, i used to use atomizers and the throat hit was really good with those but with these im not feeling it, do they need breaking in or should the carto work fully straight from the off?

thanks

If filled and soaked properly it should work right off the bat. But I do find that generally there is some improvement to flavor after I've vaped on it a bit.

It doesn't keep getting better, it just improves to the best it's going to get not long after I start vaping. After that it stays pretty consistent until the carto starts to go.

IF you're using a variable voltage mod, you may be able to adjust the voltage for a better TH / Flavor balance.

A carto will typically cut the throat hit a bit compared to dripping, and you might be using a higher resistance carto than your atty, which would also reduce the heat.

 

[Patrick21]

Ok, i was using a low resistence atty before so will that give more of a throat hit than the 2.6 OHM one i am using now?

thanks again

Yes,

Assuming you're using the same PV, low resistance, 1.6 -1.8 Ohm will give you more watts (power) then regular 2.6 Ohm.

Let'say your PV is 3.7 volts.

LR atty at 1.8 Ohms will produce 7.6 watts versus 2.6 Ohm carto will give you 5.62 watts - thats a big difference in power.

BTW: Watts = Volts X Volts/Resistance(Ohms)

 

[Patrick21]

Yeh im using the same battery if thats what you mean

 

[YKruss]

That's what I meant, attys/cartos with lower Ohms will give more power/wattage/TH on the same battery.

Thanks everyone for the opinions and help as always, after a few hours i have noticed the throat hit to be stronger, i dont know if thats a physcological issue of me getitng used to it or in fact the cartomizer has been broken in. Overall though im satisfied with how its working.

im using lr carto with 3.7v.. 50/50 pg/vg.. the sound also 'sizzle' but it give me the best taste..
